Nintendo throws their hat into the Plug & Play ring with a miniaturized NES that includes 30 built-in games. Good luck finding one near its retail price, though.

Developer Message

Found in /usr/bin/kachikachi at 0x59988 is this message:

This is the hanafuda captain speaking. Launching emulation in 3..2..1. Many efforts, tears and countless hours have been put into this jewel. So, please keep this place tidied up and don't break everything! Cheers, the hanafuda captain.

The name "Hanafuda Captain" is most likely a reference to the hanafuda cards that Nintendo used to distribute long before they became a video game company.

Regional Differences

Main Menu

This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

• The design of the main menu in the international version is based off the design of the NES. Likewise, the design of the main menu in the Japanese version is based off of the design of the Famicom.
• The game icons in the Japanese version are rounder than in the international version.
